Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work where applicable.
1. What does the slope of a position-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Velocity
Displacement
Time
2. A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates:
Constant acceleration
Increasing velocity
Zero acceleration
Decreasing velocity
3. The area under a velocity-time graph represents the of an object.
4. A curved line on a position-time graph indicates motion.
5. A negative slope on a velocity-time graph means the object is slowing down.
True
False
6. Describe the motion of an object if its position-time graph is a straight line with a positive slope.
7. How can you determine the displacement of an object from its velocity-time graph?
8. Analyze the following position-time graph and answer the questions below:
a) During which time interval(s) is the object at rest?
b) During which time interval(s) is the object moving with constant positive velocity?
c) What is the average velocity of the object between t=0 and t=5s?
